During the Obama years, nothing much really happened once Obamacare was passed. The Democrats never used their massive majorities to change the immigration laws or to enact major climate change legislation or to deal with any of the other favorite plans of the left. They talked about all of them, but given overwhelming control of the government they really did very little. They preferred talking and photo ops to actual action (which they knew wouldn't actually work.)
The Biden administration seems to be pushing towards the same inaction. Sure, Congress passed the COVID "relief" bill which was mostly a payoff to various Dem constituencies. The Dems haven't passed their tax bills, their infrastructure bills, their climate legislation or any of the myriad of other favorites of the far left. They seem to be leaderless and rudderless.
How can the Dems expect this inaction from the party of government will play with the American people. The Dems spend years saying the government should handle this or that only to do nothing once they are in control. They seem to be trying to prove the point that government can't really solve much of anything.
Is it possible that the Dems really want to be in opposition where they can complain and complain and denounce the "racist" Republicans and complain some more? Every so often they get power so that they can have the federal government pay off their supporters, but that's about all.
At the moment, I am watching the collapse of the Dems who will surely lose the House and Senate in 2022. It truly seems as if that is what they actually want.
How bizarre.
